Old Fashioned - openenglishbible/Open-English-Bible GitHub Wiki

To make this mammoth project feasible, the OEB didn't start from scratch but from existing English language translations which were out of copyright. These older translations of course reflect the idiom of the day and this page is to keep track of some obvious updates which are commonly needed.
